I feel like Tennessee is gonna boat race 'em

[Pancho 46269]

FAU getting some good looks. Nothing is dropping. 

they are nervous af

[Nicole44 22304]

I wonder what is next for Tang (I know he’s spent nearly all his career as an assistant HC.) It’s not a bad resume in your first year going to EE and taking out Calapari and Izzy…dang Tang! I get he Nowell and other incredible players who stayed and balled out. Just curious if he will get offers from other teams or stay at KSU…

Tennessee is playing crazy good D....kind of reminds me of Barnes' D at Texas before January 31st.  If we could have played the playoffs before the end of January we would have been final four several times, imo.

There was one year in particular, 10/11 maybe, where we were #1 for a few weeks around Jan 1, and then I think we got bounced second round in March.

Bruins are beat all to Hell but don't think you count them out with Jacquez and Campbell.

Our P12 freshman of the year Adem Bona doubtful.  That spells trouble.

I think that was 09-2010 season. Had a huge win against defending champ UNC late December or early January. Had a #1 ranking. And then it all fell apart from there. We didn't even make it out the 1st round. Lost to Wake Forest. I think.

The next season of 10-11 was the terrible second round Arizona loss with the 5 second inbounds call against us at the end

Be curious to how Nowell plays against a coach who actually watches tape of his opponents.  

Tonight:  

Sparty

UConn

Vols

Zags

 

Izzo must've lost the tape. 

[JGrayDBU 372]

I don't think we would have much of a chance against Tenn. team this motivated and aggressive.

You're right -- it was 09/10 when we were #1 for a few weeks in Jan, but we got bounced first round.

In 10/11, we maxed out at #3 midseason, but got KO'd 3rd round by Zona.

Rick had some talent.

[TexArcher 39037]

I hope a bird shits on the Antonellis.

I don’t know that we would have 9 turnovers against Tennessee at the 7 min mark in the 1st half the 2nd time we play them. Could be wrong tho…

 

We wouldn’t meet them until the NC game anyway 😎

oh wow! That is the dream matchup, now that Shaka is gone. 

FAU will have 21 points at half.

Heating up in Vegas.

Wish we got these kinda big man calls with Barnes back in the day lol

They play like us but a little better I think

[Pancho 46269]

Stan Van Gundy has been great this tournament. 

And I agree—if you’re going to run Timme as your offense this entire game, then by all means go right ahead. If I’m UCLA, that’s exactly what I want you to do

Harlan is so damn good. Eagle was always going to succeed Nance next season on the last weekend of the tournament but that's only because the CBS suits don't want a guy talking about a player being "tied up in a straight jacket on the sideline". That, and so much more, is what makes Harlan the best in the business.

[Underdog 29162]

Owls settled down a bit after being starstruck early on from all those Knicks, Rangers, Billy Joel & Harry Styles banners in the rafters.

I love the old school look for #34 on UCLA with the high white socks, short-shorts, & afro. 

[JGrayDBU 372]

Still a good game, but 22 points in a half.  You can't ask for better D than that. 

[Wally Pryor 5407]

UCLA is such a tough team, pretty much mirrors its coach. And Cronin can coach his ass off. 

Doesn't matter how many starters it's down, UCLA is going to take every punch you throw and throw more back. And Jaquez is the leader of that assault. Ultimate gamer.

[Sbbruin 22142]

We’re playing too fast

The Knicks have that 50-year old championship banner. Which is 34 years more recent than aggy's championship. 🤣😂

[Underdog 29162]

Are we in for another instant classic tonight? 

[chemHORN 1303]

If your were 34 and not required to dribble, you'd probably be a pretty good college player too

[Hornlover 8936]

Refs aren't calling anything in the UCLA/Gonzaga game. 4 fouls in 17 minutes

[Wally Pryor 5407]

No excuse if Tennessee doesn't win this game. FAU is going to struggle outside as Tenn defends the line as well as anyone. 

If Barnes doesn't put the ball in the paint, over and over, then he's senile. FAU has no answer there.

KSU played lock down D on that last possession. Let's acknowledge that before we criticize what MSU drew up.

Yeah, they pushed the MSU guard to a spot where he wasn't comfortable shooting the ball.

[chemHORN 1303]

If we are able to make it that far I think I'd much rather play Gonzaga than UCLA, but I still can't make myself cheer for Gonzaga.

Gonzaga guard got hammered under the basket, no call. Then they call a touch foul on the UCLA possession.

Jacquez vs Timme is like watching the two best rec players in your metro area playing for the title.

Except the first will make a good living at the next level. The 2nd is living off his NIL, which he should.

Rick Barnes already has that deer in the headlights look and they are up 4.
